By vanrozenheim
(BOSTON, USA) - Ten of the US leading constitutional law experts have told a federal court that it should grant an appeal of a lower court's dismissal of a lawsuit challenging "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" the ban on gays serving openly in the military. The professors, including Akhil Reed Amar of Yale Law School, Andrew Koppelman, a Professor of Law at Northwestern Law School and Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School and Kathleen M. Sullivan the former Dean at Stanford Law School, filed a brief Monday in support of twelve military veterans battling DADT.
